Waiting for the semimonthly relief checks at Calipatria, Imperial Valley, California. Typical story: fifteen years ago they owned farms in Oklahoma. Lost them through foreclosure when cotton prices fell after the war. Became tenants and sharecroppers. With the drought and dust they came West, 1934-1937. Never before left the county where they were born. Now although in California over a year they haven't been continuously resident in any single county long enough to become a legal resident. Reason: migratory agricultural laborers

N.Y. Mayor pleads for more relief money. Washington, D.C., Jan. 9. New York's Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, appearing before the House Appropriations Subcommittee today, proposed that Congress provide $915,000,000 to finance relief until July 1 instead of the $875,000,000 recommended by President Roosevelt. La Guardia, representing the conference of United States Mayors, said Mr. Roosevelt's recommendation is 'not enough' to meet the needs of the WPA until the end of the fiscal year. Left to right, can be seen: Rep. Edward T. Taylor, Chairman of the committee; Mayor La Guardia; and Rep. J. Buell Snyder of Pennsylvania, a member of the committee, 1/9/39
